That line is a mid 30's Kevin Flynn talking to his son Sam as a small boy.
He is in part, refering to his experience of entering the digital world in 1982, that he had dreamed of such a place before hand, and then experieced it once he got digitized and went inside the Encom 511, then he re-made a new digital world.. "The Grid" which he envisioned and created and again found a way to digitized himself into. If you read the comic/graphic novel that much is apparrent.

The Flynn Lives campaign has many many references to the original film, and in Tron Legacy there are many scenes and visual elements are are huge homages and reference to the original film Tron (1982).

Um, couldn't Kevin be in fact referring to his original entry from 1982? We all keep thinking that because the "World I Thought I'd Never See" speech is clearly "post-TRON" in situation, it must be referring to Flynn's adventures post-TRON as well. This, I think, is something of a fallacy. We have no real evidence from the film to suggest that Kevin wasn't already dreaming of such concepts as "clusters of information as they move through the computer" before the events of "TRON". But let us consider what we do know.

It is mentioned several times that Kevin Flynn is a programming genius. The back-story for his character currently reveals he interned at Encom back when Walter Gibbs just started taking it outside of his garage. He seems to have always been fascinated with the computers he used, and if he really is a genius, it is no stretch of the imagination to assume in his idler moments, sometime during those late nights of writing "Space Paranoids" and "Vice Squad", that he wondered what exactly it was he was creating. I mean, if in the real world it could occur to Steven Lisberger, it could happen to fictitious Flynn.

Then there is the speech itself. Flynn begins by describing the Grid, his creation. One might assume that what he says afterward must be referring explicitly to the Grid. But I posit that his perspective switches suddenly to describe how the Grid came to be inspired. Hence the, "I tried to imagine clusters of information..." line. Obviously, this fantasy intrigued him enough that he indeed kept "dreaming of a world [he] thought [he'd] never see." But when you get accused of corporate espionage and fired, reduced to running an arcade whilst desperately trying to hack back into the system, it doesn't leave much time for entertaining fanciful notions of life inside the computer. But boy oh boy, you bet how shocked he was to find out the truth that fateful night in the laser bay. Hence the surprise in the Speech's final line: "I got in."

That seems to be it. One however can logically assume he would continue to describe what he saw in the TRON world, his return, and his work upon creating a digital utopia of his own, the marvelous Grid.

So don't get too scared, my friend. I don't think Disney is shoving our old favorite under the rug that ties the room together. What you CAN blame Disney for, however, is not being more explicit about this. They could do more to explain this, but I say wait until the movie itself premieres to pass judgment. on line abortion pill misoprostol dose abortion medical abortion pill online

The reason for different-sounding quotes in various trailers and compared to the movie (even differences from theatrical releases and home viewings) are that they are simply different takes by the actor edited in for whatever reason.

Anyway, Flynn's line isn't a hint at changes to the timeline or events of the first movie, but how he had ideas that he didn't think he would be able to build on and make tangible. Legacy's world isn't the same as what he experienced before, and is a separate microcosm, built to his own specifications, not the world ENCOM collectively built. It's also a line for us fans, pulled out if context to say this sequel's been a long time coming, a dream we didn't know we would see.

Hey Tr2ff:

Don't worry. From what I've read and seen,
SPOILER... Mouse Over To Read:

I'd say he was thinking about The Grid, where Tron Legacy takes place. After spending almost a year designing this entire world/civilization, he kept dreaming of being able to see it. To be able to get in and see what he had spent all that time creating. He knew it was possible because of the events that happened to him in 1982.
